The Israel Defense Forces confirmed airstrikes on 160 targets in Gaza over the past day while gearing up to resume humanitarian aid deliveries on Monday.

The Air Force struck terror cells, anti-tank missile launch posts, and military structures were struck in northern Gaza, underground infrastructure, and a weapons storage facility were hit in central Gaza, while terror cells, military structures, anti-tank missile launch posts, and booby-trapped structures were struck in southern Gaza.

The IDF did not acknowledge unconfirmed Palestinian Arab reports that undercover Israeli forces in Khan Yunis killed Ahmed Sarhan, a senior commander in the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC). The PRC is a coalition of small Palestinian Arab terror groups opposed to the Palestinian Authority who are fighting alongside Hamas. Sarhan’s body was reportedly brought to one of the Gaza hospitals.

Meanwhile, on Sunday night Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza, lifting a blockade imposed in early March. Israel suspended aid deliveries at the beginning of March after Hamas rejected a proposal by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to extend the ceasefire through the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and the Jewish Passover holiday.

According to a statement from Netanyahu’s office, Israel will allow a minimal amount of food into Gaza while taking steps to prevent Hamas from seizing the aid. “Israel will act to deny Hamas’s ability to take control of the distribution of humanitarian assistance,” the statement said.

The decision coincides with preparations by the newly formed, U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to begin aid operations in the Strip by month’s end. The initiative—supported by private American firms and endorsed by Israel—aims to establish a secure framework for aid distribution.

Until GHF’s infrastructure is ready, the foundation has requested Israel allow international organizations to resume deliveries under existing procedures.

Under the plan, humanitarian goods will be routed to secure distribution centers in southern Gaza, overseen by the Israeli military. From there, supplies will be handed over to aid agencies. GHF is partnering with UG Solutions for security and Safe Reach Solutions for logistics.
